I'm 6'4" and a full size Chevy Silverado extended cab is still a tiny bit cramped for me. I can fit and be comfortable but it's not ideal. The perfect car for a tall guy I tend to find is the Ford Taurus. Most leg room i've ever found in the drivers seat.

I have a wrestling coach who is about 5'2'' maybe shorter. He is a paramedic/fireman and is probably one of the biggest badasses I know. His height seems kind of funny at first but once he gets angry he might as well be 7 feet tall because he is a scary motherfucker. He's totally cut too. He wrestles with guys 170+ (he probably weighs 130) and straight up picks them up and manhandles them. He was getting heated during a match one time and another coach made a comment about his height and he just went off on the guy. Once again, scary as fuck for someone of any height. My point is, you can be short and still be intimidating. You shouldn't let it hold you back from doing what you want.

Yeah, its all in how you assert yourself. The chief back in my hometown has got to be like 5'6". Don't worry about it, just learn how to assert yourself and act in a manner that makes people know you mean business. You'll be just fine.

Since it appears that the trooper is administering a SFST (Standard Field Sobriety Test), the term suspect is actually correct, since they're administered to people suspected of DUI/DWI/whatever your state calls it.

The problem with using the breathalyzer at the beginning of a series of SFST's is it completely colors your opinion of the inebriation of the suspect prior to doing the rest of the tests. You form an opinion from the SFSTs then move on to the breathalyzer to confirm the opinion you already held based on performance. Also, I've seen .20 drunks do the SFSTs perfectly, with the exception of Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus. There are reasons for everything.
Also, when I say breathalyzer, I'm referring only to the portable unit such as an Alcosensor machine. These tests are not the same as the machine you blow into at the jail. They are for preliminary findings only, and just considered an additional FST.

As I understand it, or at least for Mississippi, you don't have to take the SFST. You can require a breathalyzer. I know that my dad has a card that he carries with him that explains his occasional vertigo and that he would probably fail a SFST and that he needs a breathalyzer. Not that it is ever a problem for him.

Some agencies may have portable breathalyzer units that are issued to officers, yes. But in my experience, those are only used after a suspect has "failed" the SFST.

Even then, the SFST and portable breath tests are only good for establishing probable cause for the arrest. Post-arrest, an Intoxilyzer or blood alcohol test will be administered, both of which are admissible in court.

Here's an example of something I would typically write in the PC affidavit on a DUI arrest:

"Upon making contact with the driver, I observed that his eyes were red and watery, his speech was slurred, and I smelled the noticeable odor of alcohol coming from his person. Due to my experience and training, I recognized them as common indicators of alcohol intoxication."

"At this time, I asked the driver to exit his vehicle, I explained that he appeared to be intoxicated, and that I was going to administer a Standard Field Sobriety Test. The driver was unable to complete (Sections X, Y, and Z of) the SFST. It was at this point that I advised the driver that I was going to administer a portable breath test. The driver complied with the testing, and blew a .99976835 (Fake number, obviously. Highest I ever had someone blow on a portable was .37, which for most people on the planet is high enough to put them in a coma)."

"At this time, I advised the driver that he had registered higher than the state legal limit of .08, and that he was being placed under arrest for suspicion of violating [Insert your state DUI statute here]. Subject was transported to [insert location here], where he was given an Intoxilyser 8000 test by [insert certified Intoxilyzer operator name here]. The Intoxilyzer 8000 indicated that the subject's breath alcohol level was .99976837."

"Subject was booked into [insert jail here] for the above-named charge(s)."

Just a comment that is in no way meant to judge this individual cop. The department this cop works for (Utah Highway Patrol) has some of the most over zealous DUI enforcers in the United States, pulling people over for things far outside probable cause, profiling etc. That said even in a stationary picture this suspect looks to be less than sure footed standing there and the cop is obviously administering the Standard Field Sobriety Test seriously. The cop seems to be a stand up guy on the ground or car bumper.

I don't feel passionately about much, but it fucking riles me up to hear women say they won't date men shorter than them. My reaction to them every time is "Would you date a guy shorter than you if you lost the use of both your legs?" ...with the implication "because that can be arranged."

Obviously, but there are plenty of short girls out there is my point. Some of them only want tall guys, many don't. Same with tall girls. I've dated women taller than me. It's just a matter of patience and charisma.

On average, men earn $2,000 more a year than for every inch above average height.

The vast majority of white and black Fortune 500 CEOs are men several inches above average height. Very few major CEOs are below 5'8", the average height for the older generations.

Heterosexual men under 6' get far, far fewer responses from women on Match.com even accounting for factors such as income and race.

Groups of children naturally tend to respect and recognize taller boys as leaders.

Height is a significant advantage for most popular, physically intense sports where stride length and reach is an advantage.

The average height of white males and black males attending top-tier university campuses are well above average for both races.

Tall white men are more likely to be in relationships and have children than shorter white men.

One of my favorite sources on this topic was a study I recall reading in Discover Magazine years ago. Women were shown pictures of just the faces of men, all rated equally average in appearance, not too ugly, not too handsome. Then they were shown a police-style line-up of the men that were either above average or below average height. The women repeatedly preferred the tall men, even when the tall men were described with negative characteristics about their personalities and relationship histories. One woman was quoted as saying the tall men would have to be "serial killers" before she would consider the short men.

For females:

Doesn't matter other than possibly some social awkwardness and finding appropriately fitting clothes. Studies have not found any statistically significant affect on height on a woman's education or career success.

Keep in mind if you have children that appear to be short, growth hormones for kids are usually covered by health insurance. There was an AMA of a guy that surpassed 5'8 from an estimated 5'3" predicted without the treatment.

I am fairly tall (6'7"), and I got pulled over for suspected DUI. The short, 5'4" female Highway Patrol , asked me to sit on my hood to administer the eye test right? I comply. I am arrested with a .025 BAC because I was (quoting from the police report) "Too drunk to stand on my own during the eye exam..."

The final BAC at the station was .017, charges dropped once I got to court but still had to get a lawyer for it...

That is only a fraction of the whole story but the gist of it is she lied in a police report several places and used my height as supporting evidence against me....

Another detail I remember was "SBringer used his car door to support himself as he exited the vehicle.." I tried to exit my car (kinda lower) without using the door as support and it was incredibly difficult to do blind sober, in my driveway during the day...

Before I worked where I do now, I had an overnight gig in a seedy flophouse of a hotel. In the time that I spent there, I picked up some valuable information about the human race. Of all the things I learned - don't wake a sleeping homeless guy by touching him, don't insult a drunk's handmade facial tattoo, don't try to staunch a surface wound with coffee filters - one bit of seemingly-trivial information sticks with me more than anything:

Do not piss off a short guy.

When a dude is tall and/or large, he's probably never had to work too hard to intimidate somebody. If he gets in your face and you stand your ground, you'll usually do okay, assuming he doesn't flip his shit and start throwing blows like some primordial savage. A little guy, however, has had a life full of derision and insults. He's caught the worst shit people can throw at him on the chin. He's gotta be quick, and he's got to be on his guard all the time. He may not be strong, but he's gonna be clever, which is worse. You piss off a tall guy, you might be okay. You piss off a short guy, and you've got problems.

If your cop buddy pulled me over, I wouldn't even try to talk my way out of the ticket. If he jumped up on the hood of the car during our exchange, I'd be offering to handcuff myself to save him the time.
